"Severance" was the debut release by Soror Dorolora. Originally released as an EP in 2009 and unavailable and eagerly searched for by many fans, "Severance" is now being reissued in super jewelcase format with the yet unreleased bonus track "LSD".

Paris-based Soror Dolorosa creates raw and hungry gothic rock inspired by post-punk, death rock and cold wave. Latin for 'Sister Pain', Soror Dolorosa was formed in 2001 by vocalist Andy Julia. Taking its name from the novel "Bruges-la-morte" by Flemish symbolist writer Georges Rodenbach, Soror Dolorosa channels its inspiration's strong undercurrents of passion, nostalgia and mourning, transferring those powerful emotional states into its music and live performances. These signature elements of the group's sonic formula are heard in its muscular songs, jangling guitars, overdriven bass lines, driving rhythms and Julia's distinctive, dramatic vocal style.
